MRS. SYMMEs:
How She Began to Learn the Eng
lish Language.

The Southern Biooilac, in an account
of John Cleves Symmes, the author of
the theory that the earth is hollow,
open at the poles, and capable of being
inhabited, contains some interesting
facts in regard to the wife of the
theerist: "Mrs. Symmes was French
woman, who never spoke q word OF
English until after her second marriage.
Symmes had studied both French and
Speu ish while stationed in the south,
and spoke the former fuently. He
determined that his wife should learn
his language, and her efforts to please
him in this particular are laughable.
Her letters invariabie commence Mon
cher Cleves' or Mon cher Symmes. She
INV dear After this she wrote on in
English very well until she ha0 occasion
to tell something exciting or entertain
ing which had occurred at the fort then
pardon mais je ne puts pas dire plus en-
| Anglais. and her native tongue worded
kher ideas to her better satisfaction. She
would return to the English, but the
ending was an odd mixture of both: "Je
yous embrasse mile fois. Votre widow
l-wife-Marianne.' LsAs
sometimes, after very affectionate
message in French she would add, as if
| in parenthesis or to herself: Il wonder
| why think SO much of that Cloves p
Again she writes: You are gene! am
very lonesome here; | know not what
to do with myself. Les enfants parlent

J much like to see you. Ills vous en-
! brassent, ct meis, 81 vous etiez lei je
vous embrasserals de tout mon cOeur.
Votre bien-aimee pour la vie-Marisnne.
eThe letters were addressed to Capt.
John Cleves Symmes, Fort Erie or Else.
WHERE No matter where he was, she
invariably wrote below the address 'ol
Elsewhere, The else here has the ap-
pearance of being town or country
from its commencing with capital and
the conspicuous and legible way it j:

"This seems to have been the grea

Don't Swallow the Seeds.

at is just as safe and good
deal nicer not to swallow the seeds
when you eat oranges, grapes,
raisins, and things" So says DR..
Gilfillan of Brooklyn. He was
speaking of the death of Henry
Chatfeld, a leading salesman in a
Brooklyn Store, who died from in
flammation of the bowels caused
by the lodging of an orange seed
in the "pendix vermiformis. This
mysterious arrangement, which
all human beings are found to
to possess, is small sack that is
attached to one part of the intes-
tines What purpose it serves is
not known. 1t is sort of trap,
always ready to catch and hold
seeds, ETC., passing through the
intestines. The lodgment Of such
in it is very apt to
prove fatal. Seeds of oranges,
raisins, and similar fruits ere pc
culiarly liable to be caught in this
way.

The Century For December.

The December CENTURY opens
with a frontispiece portrait of
Lincoln from a photograph made
about the time of his Inauguration,
which event is the subject of the
present part of the Lincoln
History. Messrs Nicolay and Hay
continue in this number the prom
ised publication of new material.
The narrative begins with Mr..
Llncoln's departure from Spring
field, and includes an authentic
account of his farewell to his
neighbors and of the speeches
mads at indianapolis, Columbus,
Steubenville, Trenton, Philadel-
phia, and Harrisburg. An exact
statement of the facts in regard to
Llncoln's secret night journey
through Baltimore is given, ac-
companied by unpublished letters
from Seward, Scott, and General
Stone, The circumstances attend
ing the revision of the inaugural
address are related with particular
lty, the next of that document
being printed in full, with the
references to Mr.. Stewards sug
gestions for alienation fin foot
notes, SO that the reader may
see which of these suggestions
were adopted by the President and
which rejected. The comparison
affords an insight into Mr.. Lin
coins attitude toward the crisis
which he was SO soon to be called
upon to meet. The famous closing
paragraph is printed in facsimile,
accompanied by a similar
repoduction of Stewards sugges-
ton for the same paragraph.
Accompanying the paper are por-
traits of Seward, Frederick W.
Seward, and Ward H. Lamon,
together with sketch of the inaug
ural scene.

cabulary every word which has

calls it, and the popular verdict
seems to sustain his claim. 1t

CLIPPINGS.

Henry Jones son of Nelson
Jones Of this city met with a pain
full, and what came near b b,ing a
fatal accident yesterday. He was
loading some shells for hunt
when one was accidentally dis
charged, tearing off the fore-finger
of his left hand and badly lascer-
ating the next two. The brass
shell was blown into fragments,
but strange to say the load went
straight up and lodged in the cell
ing. 1t is almost miraculous with
such an explosion that the shot
did not scatter and some of them
enter his body.-Trenton Times.
A number Of the youths in

ject is to see that the poor widows
of that town have their wood

their own work, and perform the
mission for which they are or

credit for their kindness and
many poor widow will pass to

her lips for them.-Monroe News.
ga non-partisan movement is
now under way in Iowa to secure
the enactment by the next legis-
lature of a statute authorizing the
establishment of what are called
courts of Cancellation" Denmark
has made the longest and most
thorough trial Of this system, and
its success has been remarkable.
Each local community is au-
thorized to choose tribunal called
by this name, which consists
generally Of one judge and two
assistants, selected with reference
to their high standing in the
public confidence and their qualii-
cations for compromising disputes.
This tribunal has jurisdiction of
every complaint upon which q
civil action might be based, and
no such action can be heard in
any regular court until it has been
laid before the court of concilia-
ton and has resulted in a disa-
greement, SO that every cause out
of which an action might arise, ex-
cept in criminal cases, comes first
before this tribunal. The princi-
pals appear in person and tell their
own stories; witnesses are called
in, if necessary, but no counsel
are allowed; and if the dicision is
accepted by both parties, the dis
pute is ended and lawyers fees
are saved, while the judgment has
the same force as a judgement of
an ordinary court .''-Ex.

THE LAW is A FRAUD, AND SHOULD
BE CHANGED.

Under the present law the
County and Circuit Clerks are al
lowed $3.50 a year, each, as salary
for their services. They are also
allowed deputy hire not to exceed
a certain sum. Consistency would
say it is the intention of the law
that an official shall be the servant
of the people and conduct the
business of the Office on the same
economic basis that he would a
private business, and employ good
competent deputies at the lowest
salaries possible, recognizing in
this as in any other business that
competition has a right to be
heard in the employment of depu-
ties when the salaries are paid by
the county. The clerks, while they
receive salary, charge fees for
all work done by them, but these
fees. in excess of their salaries,
are to be turned over to the coun-
ty. Yet the clerks, for a period of
time become the custodisns of all
these fees, and whether they turn
over the entire excess of their fees
to the county depends upon their
integrity. Thus it will be seen
that the law puts a premium on
dishonesty, and how strong a
temptation this premium has
been, can only be determined by
The Investigations that have been
made and those yet to follow. AS
,efore stated, the clerks receive
Weekly graphic. [volume] (Kirksville, Adair Co., Missouri) 1880-1949, 1887-12-02
'ees for every official act and these

fees for every official act and these
fees are always in excess of the
salary. Many of these official acts
do not go on record, and where this
is the case the fee may be kept
without fear of detection. Where
Investigations are not made the
fees, even where the official goes on
record, may be kept with a feeling
of security. Now let the law be
SO changed as to prescribe min
nimum fee for each official act,
for example: fifty cents for record
ing deed, seventy-fve cents for
recording trust-deed, twenty-five
cents for taking an acknowledge
ment, and all other fees of both
clerks in proportion. Then give
all the proceeds of the Office to the
official and let him employ his
deputies and pay for them out Of
his own pocket, as he is RESPONSE
BILE for the conduct of the office.
This would not only remove every
temptation to dishonesty, but it
would also bring official business
to be conducted upon the same
principle as any private business,
and this should be the case in all
official life. Not only this but it
would also relieve the county
courts and clerks of the trouble of
making quarterly settlements,
which are not only troublesome
and expensive, but many times
very unsatisfactory. Let our next
Legislature see to it that the law
is changed, and the county courts
and clerks will be relieved of
much cumbersome and expensive
work, and many thousands of dol
lars will be saved to business men,
who deserve this saving as a re-
ward for their business energy
